Description

Hello and welcome! If you’re looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dinner option, these Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas are perfect for you. Loaded with tender chicken and smothered in zesty salsa verde, these enchiladas will quickly become a family favorite. Whether you love classic enchiladas or want a twist on traditional Mexican dishes, this recipe is a must-try for enchilada lovers everywhere.


Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to create these scrumptious enchiladas:

  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 3 cups cooked salsa verde chicken (shredded)
  • 8 (8-inch) tortillas (gluten-free options available)
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (or cheddar), shredded

Optional Substitutions:

  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan cheese.
  • Corn tortillas can replace flour tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  • Add diced jalapeños for a spicier kick!

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread half of the salsa verde over the bottom of a 13×9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Divide the shredded chicken evenly between the tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 3: Pour the remaining salsa verde over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly covered.

Step 4: Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over the top of the enchiladas.

Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or avocado slices for added freshness.

Helpful Cooking Tip: For a crispier finish, broil the enchiladas for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.

Notes

  • Use fresh salsa verde: Homemade salsa verde adds a fresh, tangy flavor to your enchiladas.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the enchiladas a day ahead and bake them when ready to serve. This makes meal prep a breeze!
  • Customize your fillings: Add black beans, corn, or bell peppers to the chicken filling for extra texture and nutrition.
